It's new stock tires and only done 8000. But as soon as I go above 60. Over 70, it's just loud. The road noise becomes very apparent. Especially if some roads with different texture. Anyone have this issue as well?
Assuming this is fairly normal with run flat? I'm probably going to go with Michelin defender as it was really pleasant on my other SUV.

Is this your first EV? If so, you may notice tire noise more because of lack of everything else in an ice car making noise. You might want to download a decibel meter on your phone and test it at highway speed and see what you get, and compare it to other vehicles. That might put your experience in context good or bad.
The stock Bridgestone Turanza T005 MOE tires that my car came with became extremely noisy after 2 years years of use. My tires still had around around 4-5 mm of tread left but decided to replace them as family complained that they could hear the tire noise. Went with Pirelli Cinturato P7C2 MO tubeless (non-run flats). Could not be more pleased. No tire noise anymore and the ride has improved significantly too. Here is the tire label -

It is my first ev. But the road noise is definitely higher than my other car. Because I have to raise my voice to speak with the kids. I have rented model Y before and I also felt that. Also didn't like how heavy the car nor the run flats. But I still love the handling and no worrying about being in the right gear for max torque.
After driving a bit more. It's due to the texture of the roads. Some makes the whole car resonance and it amplifies the noise. Other roads have no problems doing 70 and is quiet. Joy of living in states where the roads are poorly maintained.
Tohle chování je u runflat pneumatik docela běžné. Mají zesílené bočnice, takže jsou tvrdší a méně tlumí vibrace i hluk od povrchu vozovky. Proto při rychlostech nad 60–70 km/h často výrazně víc slyšíš změny asfaltu nebo hrubší povrch.
Pokud přejdeš na Michelin Defender, rozdíl v komfortu a hluku bývá znatelný – jsou měkčí a zaměřené spíš na tichou a pohodlnou jízdu než na nouzový dojezd. Jen počítej s tím, že ztratíš výhodu runflat technologie, takže budeš muset řešit rezervu nebo kompresor.
Takže ano, to co popisuješ, je u runflatů normální a přechod na klasické f1casino touring pneumatiky je časté řešení.
